My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 139 Like the Story of Emperor Gaozu

"Wan Jing, pass down the order: do not linger, keep fleeing south."

Gao Huan, who was usually calm and collected, couldn't care less about anything else when he was running for his life, and lost his usual composure.

His handsome face was now extremely disheveled.

That's what they said, but in reality, Gao Huan and his group didn't escape very quickly.

Not everyone rode a horse; many carriages followed behind, filled with their families.

The army, composed of the Shesheng Army, the Lou family, and the Duan family's troops, marched south in a grand procession.

Lou Zhao rode up to Gao Huan's side and frowned. "Brother-in-law, I have a feeling something's fishy. Why was our breakout so easy?"

Gao Huan agreed wholeheartedly and also felt that this escape to the south was too easy. They ran in a very disheveled manner, but there were no pursuers behind them. Could it be that Po Liu Han Baling had really led his troops south?

Or perhaps the rebels were drawn to the main force that was breaking out of Huai Shuo City?

But that doesn't make sense. After all, the rebel army besieging Huai Shuo only seemed to be the troops of Woye Town, but in reality, many garrison commanders and powerful clans in Huai Shuo couldn't hold out and chose to surrender to Po Liu Han Baling. Many grassland tribes also came to join them, and even more tribes from the west came to join them. The number of soldiers under Po Liu Han Baling was more than imagined.

Without enough soldiers, he dared not send Wei Kegu to Wuchuan.

"Send out more scouts to gather intelligence. We are still in danger, so we must be careful."

"Gather as much information as possible in case there is an ambush ahead."

Lou Zhao nodded and immediately spurred his horse to relay orders to the Lou family's retainers. Scouts continuously broke away from the crowd and scattered in all directions to gather information.

After marching for half a day, Gao Huan ordered a stop for a short rest, mainly to wait for the scouts ahead to send back some useful information, and also to allow the soldiers and their troops to catch their breath.

Lou Zhaojun stepped down from the carriage and walked to Gao Huan's side, her expression also filled with worry. "The rebel army is so powerful, how come we haven't seen them anywhere along the way?"

Gao Huan looked around and shook his head, saying, "I don't know where the rebels are now. We need to speed up; we can only escape danger once we reach Yunzhong."

"What happens after we reach the clouds?"

"Find out news about Wuchuan and Erlang's current whereabouts. It would be best if we could meet him. Erlang is an official, and the Grand Commander is an old acquaintance of ours. We can go and serve him, and follow the imperial army to suppress the rebellion and return to Huai Shuo."

Long before deciding to break out and flee south, Gao Huan had already planned everything out in his mind; he wasn't just running around like a headless fly.

Lou Zhaojun's brows finally relaxed.

It is precisely in such a critical moment that Gao Huan's difference from others becomes more apparent, giving her a strong sense of security.

"I wonder what Wu Chuan's current situation is like. I imagine it's not optimistic. I'm afraid..."

"Erlang is a guest army, and he is exceptionally brave. His Xuanjia troops are also elite. If the day comes when we can no longer hold the city, Erlang will abandon the city and break out. The rebel army will not be able to stop him."

At this point, Gao Huan could only try to think of the best possible outcome.

Wuchuan faced an even more severe and worse situation. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes, and anything can happen.

As long as no bad news comes, Gao Yu must be alive.

After all, given Gao Yu's reputation, any incident involving him would spread quickly.

After a short rest.

Gao Huan prepared to order the march to continue south.

Just now.

The sound of hooves came from the north, and countless cavalrymen stirred up a cloud of sand, making it impossible to see their exact numbers.

But given its immense scale and momentum, its numbers must be considerable.

Gao Huan's expression changed, and the soldiers and retainers around him were even more startled by the momentum created by the rebel army chasing after them, and immediately became chaotic.

"Mount up! Engage the enemy!" Gao Huan had already mounted his horse and was shouting at the top of his lungs.

However, his troops were not as elite and valiant as the Xuanjia, and their reaction time in battle was not as rapid as the Xuanjia's.

Before the pursuing rebels could get close, a volley of arrows rained down.

At this point, Gao Huan dared not let Lou Zhaojun risk running back into the carriage. He could only let Lou Zhaojun mount the horse as well. Fortunately, Lou Zhaojun had learned to ride horses since she was a child and her riding skills were also superb.

However, Lou Zhaojun's attention at this moment was not on her own safety, but on the carriage behind her.

Her and Gao Huan's children are still in the carriage, being looked after by the maids.

The enemy troops had already charged forward, and Gao Huan and his men were forced to fight back, and the two sides immediately became entangled.

Gao Huan tried several times to go back and take back the carriage, but he could not get close. Every time he tried to rush over, he was stopped by someone.

"He Liuhun, we have to retreat! If we don't, none of us will be able to leave!"

Hou Jing was fighting bravely when he saw that Gao Huan had stopped moving, so he immediately shouted a reminder.

The situation was extremely chaotic, and Gao Huan couldn't care less about anything else at this point. He shouted, "Retreat!"

"Husband! Ah Hui, Ah Hui, they're all still here..."

"Let's go! As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild. We can't worry about anything else right now!"

Gao Huan hardened his heart and lashed Lou Zhaojun's warhorse with his whip. The horse, in pain, immediately galloped forward like a madman.

Lou Zhaojun cried out, her eyes red and swollen, "Ahui...Ahui!"

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Wielding his precious sword, Gao Huan slashed left and right, knocking two pursuers off their horses. He shouted repeatedly, "Follow me and fight your way out of the encirclement!"

Duan Rong, Wei Jing, Hou Jing, Cai Jun and others gathered around Gao Huan, and they all reined in their horses, turned around and charged out!

Inside the carriage amidst the crowd.

Gao Loujin and his two maids were pale and trembling with fear.

Beside Gao Loujin were Gao Cheng, Duan Shao, and Wei Jie. Duan Shao and Gao Cheng were still somewhat calm, while Wei Jie looked terrified. Gao Loujin was holding Gao Yang in his arms, while another twin girl, Gao Ying, was held in the arms of a maid.

“Mother…Mother.”

Wei Jie burst into tears, and Gao Yang and Gao Ying followed suit, crying and shouting incessantly.

Although Gao Cheng and Duan Shao remained somewhat calm, tears welled up in their eyes as the situation became urgent. They could only bite their lower lips tightly and cover their mouths with their small hands to prevent themselves from crying out.

Gao Loujin was unaware of what was happening outside.

She felt the carriage begin to run uncontrollably forward.

next second.

Bilugu lifted the curtain, his body covered in blood, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, do not panic. We have received He Liuhun's kindness and will protect you with our lives!"

Gao Loujin forced himself to nod, suppressing his fear.

"Keep a close eye on He Liuhun's offspring, lest they be thrown off the carriage."

Say it.

Bilugu flipped out again, and Gao Loujin felt the carriage shaking more and more violently. She immediately opened her arms and tightly held the group of children, afraid that they might accidentally fall off the carriage.
